Had Face-lift - when Can I Use Retin A?

October 21, 2012
Asked By:Faustiniana in Malibu, CA

I've been using retin A for quite a bit. Had facial surgery last week that involved an incision under the chin, two near the ears and one at the hairline. How long should I wait before using retin A all over my face? Because some Retin A will definitely be applied on the places where incisions were made, so, is there any risk that Retin A will impair healing or make the scars worse? Thanks a lot
